The World Is Mine
I turned a corner and there I saw a child different
and alone.
Wanting acceptance - misunderstood asking for
bread but getting a stone.
A normal boy, arms for hugging, heart for loving
normal joys and normal fears.
Normal parents, normal health - but a mind not
normal for her years.
Oh, God, forgive me when I whine
I have a mind, the world is mine.
With legs to take me where I'd go.
With eyes to see the sunset's glow.
With ears to hear that I would know,
With mind not cursed with being slow.
Oh, God, forgive me when ! whine.
I'm blessed indeed. The World is mine.
